Wander Bhoys Challenge

LIFELONG Celtic supporter Frank Gilhooley has previously cycled across Western Australia and hiked the West Highland Way, but now he plans to take on the challenge of a lifetime.

He will lead an adventurous group of supporters on a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro and he has nominated Celtic FC Foundation as beneficiary of the funds raised.

Scottish actor Frank, who is currently starring in River City and is also known for his roles in Still Game and Outlander, will head up the Celtic contingent known as ‘The Wander Bhoys’, in embarking on an 11-day journey, in the spring of 2019.

Kilimanjaro, situated in North East Tanzania, is the highest walkable mountain in the world and offers a truly unique challenge. Check out the video for more information on ‘The Wander Bhoys- Kilimanjaro Challenge’.

The cost of the trip will be £2,750 per person and each volunteer will also be tasked with raising a minimum of £1,000, as a charitable contribution to Celtic FC Foundation.

Participants must be aged 18 or over on the day of departure.

The package includes:

Return flights from central Scotland and transfers when in Africa

Hotel accommodation and food

Mountain guides

Doctors

Insurance

A celebratory party after completion of the trek

The cost of the trip can be covered by each individual or alternatively, ‘The Wander Bhoys’ would encourage businesses and supporters’ clubs to consider sponsoring representatives to take part.

ALEX McLeish was visibly angered when it was suggested to him in fairly blunt terms that he, not a freakish catalogue of injuries, may have been the reason for so many players pulling out of the Scotland double header with Albania and Israel on Friday night.

IT would not be at all unlike Scotland, given their propensity over the years for snatching defeat and failure from the jaws of victory and glory, to slip up just when it matters most against Israel at Hampden this Tuesday evening.

ALEX McLeish last night denied there was anything “sinister” in the high number of withdrawals from the Scotland squad for the Nations League matches with Albania and Israel matches after Kieran Tierney became the ninth player to pull out.

ANDY Robertson last night stressed the call-offs from the Scotland squad ahead of the Nations League double header against Albania and Israel were all for genuine reasons and revealed that Kieran Tierney had been devastated when he was forced out.

About Us

In the summer of 2006 a few of us decided to set up the Celticunderground website. At the time we were somewhat disillusioned at the cosy relationship between some fansites and the board which was developing and felt that we wanted to be part of something that wasn’t being influenced by the PLC. We were angry middleaged men and we weren’t going to take it anymore. Under the heading “About Us” we attempted to articulate something akin to a vision statement for the site. Looking back on what was written it’s clear that in some aspects we were spot on and in others we were hopelessly naive. The site has evolved into something that none of us could have predicted and we’d like to think that we’ll keep changing in the coming years. It might not be to everyone’s tastes but it will always be about genuine fans saying what they think because they love the club.
